Fidia Advanced Biopolymers S.r.l. (FAB) is a company based in Padova, Italy. The majority of FAB’s research is focused on hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the human body and is thus biocompatible and non-toxic. By modifying the chemistry of hyaluronic acid, the company has generated multiple new products and innovative drug delivery systems used in various areas of medicine including orthopedics, surgery and tissue repair.

The company maintains intellectual property rights for Hyaff™ (hyaluronic acid derivatives) all over the world and is recognized worldwide for its use of Hyaff-based materials in tissue repair and in the medical device field. FAB has licensed methods for producing three-dimensional porous structures from Hyaff™ from Brown University (covered by U.S. Patent No. 5,939,323). This scaffold material facilitates host cell migration, adherence and proliferation to form new tissue.
